Great Show Deserved Better 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 13 people found this review helpful.
Scrubs will go down in history as being one of the last great American sit-coms and NBC's treatment of how it ended is shameful. It didn't go out with a bang or even a whimper, but rather with a far-off flushing sound. It reminds me a little of how "Soap" and "Taxi" ended, except this has even more depressing details.
And thanks to the fact that the writers hurried along Pam and Jim's relationship in "The Office", it looks like THAT show hasn't long to live either. Without that romantic tension anymore, it's going to evolve into a live-action version of "Dilbert" (if it hasn't already - I only saw a few episodes from the fourth season, but the mood HAS changed a lot compared to the last two seasons).
Thank God for the invention of DVD, though - at least I have BBC shows and Anime to entertain me 'til it's time to check out of this insane planet.
Thanks to Scrubs for so many great episodes and having a worldview I could relate to - you deserved a 'final season' at best, a special finale episode at least. All we fans can hope for is a DVD-release movie finale ("Firefly" got one, and even Reno 911 had a movie made, so I can at least DREAM...)
Editorial Review:
With its deft combination of humor and heart, this single-camera sitcom is a both a critical and cult favorite. Scrubs stars Zach Braff as J.D., an eager doctor at Sacred Heart Hospital. With J.D. as its narrator, the show frequently dips into surrealism as it shows his strange thoughts and daydreams. The rest of the characters on Scrubs are equally eccentric: best friend Turk (Donald Faison), bossy nurse Carla (Judy Reyes), J.D.'s reluctant mentor Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), the anxiety-ridden ex-girlfriend Elliot (Sarah Chalke), and J.D.'s arch nemesis, known simply as 'Janitor' (Neil Flynn). This set contains all episodes from season seven of this popular series.

Editorial Review:
Season four of the hit ABC medical drama was on shaky ground right from the season premiere, which left Cristina (Sandra Oh) at the altar by Burke (Isaiah Washington, fired after the press-frenzied third season); Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) downgraded to no-relationship-just-sex status; and George (T.R. Knight) pondering divorce from Callie (Sara Ramirez) to pursue love with his best friend, Izzie (Katherine Heigl). That last pairing made for one of the worst decisions in the series thus far; George and Izzie always worked so well as friends without the will-they-won't-they element, but suddenly throwing them into bed and watching them fumble their way to coupledom (an attempt that mercifully doesn't last) was painful to watch, in particular because Heigl, who had won an Emmy for the previous season, was reduced to a lot of whining and fretting. Meanwhile, Meredith's family issues come to a head when her half-sister Lexie (Chyler Leigh) begins her internship at Seattle Grace and instantly tries too hard to bond. And as she once again drives away Derek with her trust issues, Meredith finally gets smart and enters therapy (one of the redeeming elements of the season, with Amy Madigan as the hard-nosed counselor) to "get healed." The writers' strike became a welcome blessing for the show, which had seriously derailed before its hiatus; during the strike, creator Shonda Rimes has said she reexamined the direction of the show, making for an ultimately satisfying second half of the season. Standout episodes include "Forever Young," in which a high school bus crash leaves the staff pontificating their own adolescent cliques; "Lay Your Hands on Me," with a standout performance by Chandra Wilson as Bailey, whose crumbling marriage comes front and center when her toddler gets in an accident; and the season finale "Freedom," in which Meredith and Derek save two brain-tumor patients in love (Jurnee Smollett and Marshall Allman), leading to their own (lasting?) reunion, Bailey heads up an effort to rescue a guy who lay in concrete to impress a girl; and Callie finds herself attracted to the new cardiac surgeon, Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith). Bonus features include "New Docs on the Block," a look at the latest members of the cast; a set tour with Dempsey and Eric "McSteamy" Dane; bonus and extended scenes; and outtakes. --Ellen A. Kim

It's all good. Yeah, season 3 is slightly better because obviously there's more eps. Season 4 is trimmed slightly due to the WGA strike but it was worth it. The season finale two-parter is fantastic.
Favorite show!! 5 out of 5 stars.

It's refreshing to watch a television program that isn't written for the "stoopitt" people out there in the world. So many shows lately have to dumby down with their writing so everyone understands what's happening. It's insulting and gets really boring for those of us out here who actually already get it all along...HOUSE is one of those amazingly written shows that appeals to the smarter folks out here. It has excellent humor and drama and mystery, and is worth spending an hour of your time watching because you're going to get everything you tune in for every episode.
There's a formula to each episodes, much like with LAW AND ORDER, but even though you understand how the process works, the endings are most often still quite the surprising twist that you'd never see coming.
The special features are great, but of-course, I always wish for more. Highly recommended!!

Since I had never seen the first season of this sitcom, purchasing this CD helped me catch up on what I had missed. It is more enjoyable watching this CD without commercial interuptions.
I would recommend this CD to any House fans.
It will be a joy to review this series in future years.
A great way to catch up on shows that were missed.

Season One, House introduces you to this doctor who is in "left field" accourding to standands. He is intense and devoted to his work though his work ethics at time are quiestionable. His co-workers love, hate, admire, and highly respect him as you will. I dare you to watch this and not fall in love with 'House, M.D.' and want more.
Fabulous.... 5 out of 5 stars.

Editorial Review:
Season One
He pops pills, watches soaps, and always, always says what's on his mind. He's Dr. Gregory House (Emmy nominee Hugh Laurie, Blackadder). Producers David Shore, Bryan Singer, Katie Jacobs, and Paul Attanasio haven't rewritten the hospital drama--at heart, it's a cross between St. Elsewhere, ER, and C.S.I.--but they've infused a moribund genre with new life and created one of TV's most compelling characters. More than any previous medical procedural, it resembles Attanasio's underrated Gideon's Crossing, but House is lighter on its feet. As fascinating as he is, the show wouldn't work as well if it were all House all the time (that would be like Sherlock Holmes without Watson or Moriarty). Fortunately, he's joined by an intriguing cast of characters, portrayed by a combination of experienced vets (Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard) and new faces (Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer). Aside from the complicated cases they tackle each week, the sparks really fly when House's brilliant, if naïve charges are put to the test--and as the head of a teaching hospital, it's his job to test them (although his tough love approach is constantly landing him in hot water with Edelstein's administrator). From the first episode, House attracted a talented array of guests, including Robin Tunney ("Pilot"), Joe Morton ("Role Model"), and Patrick Bauchau ("Cursed") as Spencer's father. In addition, Chi McBride and Sela Ward appear frequently (with Ward returning for the second season). Viewers who first watched these 22 episodes on Fox will be gratified to note that the music has survived the transition to disc, such as the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want," as featured in both the pilot and season finale ("Honeymoon"). The only apparent omission is the credit theme (Massive Attack's "Teardrop") from the pilot. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Season Two
The overall strength of the second season of House, M.D. proves that its first-year success wasn't a fluke. This season starts with Dr. House (Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie) pursuing his ex-wife Stacy (Sela Ward) and ending with a tragedy that could potentially be deadly for himself and two colleagues. The premise of each show follows a set routine--a patient is brought in with unusual symptoms; House challenges his trio of underlings to diagnose the problem; they treat the patient, usually incorrectly the first few tries; and then at the very last minute--through a revelation that often has little to do with the patient--House figures out what's wrong and saves the day. It would be easy for this set up to grow old fast. But because of the smart writing, nuanced acting, and believability of the characters (who're often dealing with unbelievable scenarios), the formula works on each of the 24 episodes that aired on Fox during the 2005-2006 season. Viewers have been conditioned by the Marcus Welbys of the TV world to think of doctors as saviors. Even on ER, the most narcissistic physician was selfless at heart. But House is a different breed. When he's at an off-track betting parlor and a woman collapses, he doesn't miss a beat. Still eying his race on television, he asks, "Is anybody here a doctor?" He'll mock a sick patient's complaints with a sarcastic, "Boo hoo!" And, if there happens to be a dead body around, he has no qualms about shooting it if he believes that could help diagnose another gun-shot victim.
Not that he's any more reasonable or compassionate to his boss Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), his oncologist best friend Wilson (Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard), or his young charges Foreman (Omar Epps), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), and Chase (Jesse Spencer). He instructs his doctors to break into patients' homes as if they're cat burglars. He does not know the meaning of the phrase "politically correct." But because he spits out insults (as if he has a mild case of Tourette's) equally to both his patients and colleagues, the latter never flinch at his constant stream of inappropriateness. When his three young doctors storm into his office to report the declining condition of a patient by blurting out, "We have rectal bleeding," House says, "What? All three of you?" To sensitive Wilson, who is trying to get some work done without being interrupted, House says, "I know you're in there. I can hear you caring." And when Foreman's father says, "My son says you're a manipulative bastard," House replies, "It's a pet name. I call him Dr. Bling." Of course House actually does care about his patients, but he views a good bedside manner as the luxury of a doctor who has a healthy patient. But dying patients with seemingly incurable diseases need something more. They need House. --Jae-Ha Kim
Season Three
The cantankerous and brilliant Dr. House (Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie) is back for a third season of the hit drama House, which picks up with his being shot at the end of season two and ends with his staff dramatically refusing to put up with his oddball (and borderline abusive) demands. Each of the 24 episodes, which aired on FOX from 2006 to 2007, is included in this 5-disc set. Fans of the drama will be happy to hear that the formula remains the same: Each show begins with a medical dilemma that's so severe and life-threatening that only Dr. House can diagnose and fix the problem, even if it goes against conventional medical rules. His put-upon boss Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) is back, as are his young charges Foreman (Omar Epps), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), and Chase (Jesse Spencer). Oncologist Wilson (Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard), who is House's best friend by default, also returns to support (and infuriate) the cranky doctor. Speaking of cranky, House's difficult nature proves to bite him in the rear. In a six-episode arc, the Vicodin-popping House meets his match after he antagonizes the wrong patient, police officer Michael Twitter (David Morse, who played a compassionate physician on St. Elsewhere). Hell hath no fury like a patient poked and prodded like a guinea pig, and Twitter makes it his business to make House's life miserable. But since the show is called House, viewers are safe in assuming that House will not be rotting his life away in a jail cell. After all, the excitement of the show is driven by his unorthodox treatment of patients. As Cuddy succinctly points out, "You just keep on going until you come up with something so insane it's usually right." Look for a slew of excellent guest stars (rocker Dave Matthews, Charles S. Dutton, Piper Perabo, John Larroquette) to help stir things up. The episodes are as compelling as ever, focusing on a morbidly obese patient in denial, an autistic child, and a comatose man that House insists on "waking" up. The bonus materials include Morrison and Edelstein doing scenes in Valley Girl-speak and a featurette on Laurie's all-star charity group called Band from TV (Laurie plays piano). --Jae-Ha Kim
Season Four
Prepare for even more baffling, complex and shocking medical mysteries than ever before as every episode of House MD Season Four arrives on DVD! Reunite with the perplexing and prickly Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie in his two-time Golden Globe®-winning and Primetime Emmy®-nominated role) as he tackles impossible cases while putting a new staff of potential team candidates through the medical wringer with his trademark sarcasm and irreverent bedside manner. Also making house calls this season are such stellar guest stars as Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Frank Whaley (Swimming with Sharks), Michael Michele (ER) and more! It's time to get another dose of one of TV's most original medical dramas in the show that's "…exceptionally well-written, well-shot and well-played" (Los Angeles Times).

I love House the charecter, but the story lines are getting old. Seems like the same show over and over again. It is also time for a change as Cameron, Chase and Foreman are getting annoying.
The "House Party" continues! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
As dramatic, charismatic, and unpredictable as always, House is back for its third season. More bizarre but completely logical diagnoses, more deep insight into the presence that is House, more semi-legal procedures, sharp wit, and cane-antics! If you watched season 1 and 2, there is no more reason need be said to continue your collection. If you've not, go back to the first season and purchase it before returning here. Nothing more need be said.
One of my favorite seasons! 5 out of 5 stars.

The many cases throughout this season further look into the mentality of House and his colleagues. Season Three finishes off with a very dramatic and suspensful 2-part finale.

I'm an addict for House 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Ostentatiously as a gift for my brother, I bought season 1 of House and voraciously watched. Season 2 was purchased with no such qualms, and shortly my mother and I were having almost nightly "House parties" with season 2.
There are almost as many hospital dramas as there are seasons of Law and Order, but House manages to stay fresh, different, and overall so compelling that grown adults like myself and far more grown adults like my mother have lost sleep to the series. Compelling and griping, whereas season 1 was focused on the puzzle that was House, season 2 provides us more of his background, his "love" life, and what made him into the person he is after six years with his leg. Coupled with the dramatic season finale, there is no way anyone who has even seen half an episode of House shouldn't get this series right away, unless it is to purchase season 1 first.
House, M.D. - Season Two 5 out of 5 stars.

Season two of House takes you on a rollercoaster ride by mixing the personal lifes of the hospital staff along with the life and death cases that surface along the way--then leaves you at the edge of you seats waiting on the Season Three. Excellant.

I'm pre-ordering with an optimistic outlook! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
First off, Emergency! is big favorite of mine as is all Webb TV; as in actor, director Jack Webb. With four season sets out, things were looking good when season 3 was released. Then came season 4 with most episodes looking like they were mastered from a 25 year-old VHS rental.
When Universal successfully farmed out season 2 of Adam-12 to SHOUT! Factory, we all had hope that possibly Dragnet and Emergency! and other Webb projects would follow suit. BUT, let us all have a bit of faith in the suits at Universal for a proper DVD release. Perhaps the massive fire experienced at Universal Studios will guide the powers to be in releasing pristine remastered episodes of a classic TV treasure.
Great show 4 out of 5 stars.

I was torn on the number of stars I was going to give this season because I have not watched this season on DVD. Its been what seems to be a life time ago that I watched the new season on TV. I was maybe 6 or so.
This is an awesome show. The acting in here by John and Roy is outstanding. Now when I watch the show, im watching and have that kid feeling inside again. Im also watching this show as an EMT. And as I watch John and Roy, their motions as they are working on a patient are exact and looks as if they are in real life, paramedics.
Another reason why I didn't put the fifth star on is the anticipation of the lesser quality there seems to be over other DVD sets.
The quality isn't such that had I gotten to preview the first 4 seasons that it would have stopped me from buying the other seasons. You have some spots where the lighting isn't good, sometimes the sound is a bit flat. To me, still well worth owning and not in such poor quality that you can not enjoy the show. The packaging is really good. DVD's are not able to flop around.
My 12 year old daughter loves the show also. I wonder if she will follow her mom's foot prints and become an EMT.

Shonda keeps giving us what we want! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
By the time season three of Grey's Anatomy started, I was already hooked onto it because of the phenominal writing and acting, but the soapy drama has also kept me watching. Season one showed that soap operas can be sophisticated and mature due to its strong stories. Season two did the same but cranked up the drama to a slightly higher level. It has remained the same now throughout the seasons. Season three ranks among the best television I have ever seen. The recurring plot lines included the battle for position of Chief Resident among Callie, Burke, Derek, etc., Izzie's depression after Denny's death, Addison trying to regain a relationship with Mark and her secret affair with Alex, Alex's secret obsession with a female patient who goes by the name Jane Doe, a Izzie/George/Callie love triangle, Meredith's constant struggle with her family, Christina and Burke's constant fighting. George's father becomes at risk of death while being admitted for surgery, which also reintroduces the bitter Dr. Erica Hahn as a rival to Burke. Derek and Meredith also continue to have a bumpy on-off relationship, while Chief Webber is possibly leaving as Chief of Surgery. Season three set the bar high enough to give the writers and producers stress about future seasons. Hopefully they will provide what I'm hoping for, but I'll have to see.

the beginning to a knock-out show! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
From the moment the first few seconds of the pilot of Grey's Anatomy started, I could tell that it was going to entertain me like nothing has before. The characters were fresh and real, the recurring storylines were well-written and real, and most of all, the acting was the best I have ever seen on television. Creator Shonda Rimes has created a medical soap opera that tops all tv shows on the air. The recurring dramatic plots include: George's secret feelings for Meredith, Burke and Shepherd's struggle for power in the OR, Chief Webber's brain cancer, Derek's pursue and controversial romance with Meredith, and Meredith's struggle to keep her mothers disease under wraps. I highly suggest viewing with patience as the show takes its time with the character development and progress. Hopefully seasons to come get better and better.
